A dish that shows off 2 wonderful elements of a potato. The golden brown outside, and then the creamy smooth middle. Topped with a beautiful fresh salsa. The perfect potato dish that will fill you right up. I say this often but potatoes have got to be one of my favourite vegetables. And because of…

Vegan Lemon Meringue Pie
Vegan meringue….really? Yep, that’s right, the crispy base, the tangy curd in the middle and the soft, marshmallow-like top. It’s all vegan and it’s amazing. This is the perfect dessert to keep everyone excited after the main course. Wow, I never pictured myself baking a vegan version of lemon meringue pie, one of my favourite…
Focaccia Bread Recipe
This focaccia bread is crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Homemade bread for the win!! We all need to try homemade bread at least every once in a while. I like this focaccia bread recipe because it involves a really simple technique that makes the outside nice and crunchy. And it’s as…
Caramelised Onion Tart with Roasted Figs and Feta
Salty, sweet, light, soft, crunchy. This caramelised onion tart is the most epic flavour bomb! I highly recommend you try this recipe. Making a tart with puff pastry is a great cheat. My intuition tells me that not everyone will always take the time to make homemade shortcrust pastry for every tart that they make….
Rosewater Cake with Citrus Butter Cream
So with this rosewater cake, I didn’t want to make some super crazy, multilayered work of art. I wanted to make a cake that follows basic principles but at the same time, is still very well baked. So if you are looking for a cake that is quick, stress-free, not complicated but regardless, a cake…
Halloween Homemade Pumpkin Pie
Alrighty ladies and gents, I have a challenge for you. A homemade pumpkin pie. That’s right, no canned pumpkin, no cheats, when I say “homemade pumpkin pie”, I mean making it from scratch. And I know that may sound intimidating, but once you have the pastry done and dusted, it really isn’t all that difficult….
White Chocolate Drizzle Peanut Butter & Jam Cookies
Wow, I have been blogging for nearly 2 years and not 1 cookie recipe in sight. I can’t even fathom that. I suppose it’s because I see so many cookie recipes out there, and I spend a lot of time trying to be original. Never the less, I still believe that as a food blogger,…
Mascarpone Cream Filled Profiterole and Easter Egg Mountain
Easter is one of those days that children just love. So this post is all about getting the kids super pumped, getting your hands dirty and wowing everyone with a wicked dessert. In my humble opinion, and you can disagree with me as much as you want, that is cool with me. But a mascarpone…
Valentines Strawberry Madeleines
I imagine that the majority of the people viewing this pink strawberry Madeleine recipe will be women. But to any men reading this, let me just tell you something I have noticed as a cook. Many women find it super sexy when men can cook for them. If any of you ladies agree or disagree…
Sticky Date Pudding
Alright so I said I was going to post it and here it is, sticky date pudding. Now I was going to make this recipe as mini singular puddings, but I realized that I have been doing this with most of my desserts and I wanted to make a change. I want to simplify the…
How to make Meringues
Crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside. That is what comes to mind when we think about making “the perfect meringues” isn’t it? Now although this post was very simple for me to write, making a good meringue is something that I kept failing at over and over again. What would keep on happening…
Sweet Potato Wedges with Avocado and Sour Cream Dip
This is the perfect snack if you want to be a little bit more healthy. I can’t say I prefer these to regular wedges because potatoes are probably my favourite vegetable. However, these sweet potato wedges have more of an enhancing flavour, especially when they caramelize around the edges. Though they do not go as…
Easter dessert for 2016 (Souffle)
Making Souffle’s is not something I would do everyday as it is one of those dishes you must serve immediately after baking, otherwise you won’t get a good result. Which is I figured it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to post this dish for a special occasion. I thoroughly enjoyed this souffle as it was…
Coconut, poppyseed and lemon drizzle muffins
These lemon drizzle muffins remind me of my childhood, my mum is the usually the person who cooks dinner for the family and there is a list of particular dishes she is just awesome at. When it came to desserts, she loves to bake lemon drizzle cake so I decided to make them in a…
